5 | post surgery epidural | Itching, unusual dreams/nightmares, out of it twilight sleep/nod feeling, extreme numbness waist down, urinary retention, hypnagogic hallucinations | Worked pretty well for pain in an epidural, but man, it was WEIRD. It seemed to cast me in that Comfortably Numb Pink Floyd video, but then again, I just had surgery and the pain was TERRIBLE. I would reccomend it, but after surgery, you dont have much choice in what they put in your IV. Probably about interchangeable with other strong opioids. | M | 27 | 4 days 20 microG 2X H | 2/11/2010 |
